Located in the heart of Stratford-upon-Avon as part of the Shakespeare Hotel, literature enthusiasts will find the perfect setting for inspiration in Othello's Bar and Brasserie. An inn and a meeting place for writers, actors and artists since the 18th century, the building still retains the distinctive gabled frontage of the Tudor period though most of its original features have been tastefully refurbished.

The cuisine is a mix of modern European and traditional English dishes and there's something for anyone who feels like stopping for a bite - be it an elaborate three course meal with fine wine or a quick lunch. Begin with seared scallops or seasonal soup served with crusty bread, followed by lamb three ways or a more traditional cod and chips. Conclude with one of the chef's special homemade puddings. There's a garden terrace where you can to enjoy afternoon tea with homemade scones and clotted cream, or perhaps relax with Pimm's or a glass of champagne with local strawberries and cream.

No place brings the bard to life like Stratford-upon-Avon and Othello's does its part in adding charm to history.
